    How come tim bradley's popularity didn't increase after two fights with Pacquiao?

    This question comes to mind because i am looking at Maidana's social networks and damn he gained A LOT of fans from his two fights with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    Let's do a comparison.

    Marcos Maidana facebook (verified page) 1,226,076 likes vs Tim Bradley facebook (verified page) 51,192 likes.

    Marcos twitter (verified account) 253k followers vs Tim Bradley twitter (account isn't even verified smh) 62.9k followers.

    What happened, why ain't tim bradley a "hot ticket" after two fights with pac? Chino don't even speak english and he is a way bigger star than Timothy.

    It looks like Chino's days as the B side are over..

    Because everyone saw Tim lose to Manny in the first fight and he got a gift anyway. People have a hard time letting go

      Maidana is an exciting fighter Bradley is not.

      People thought Maidana won the fist fight against Floyd.

      Bradley got a gift decision against Pac.

        He got more popular but he doesn't really have the style to become hugely popular. He's too balanced, not an offensive machine, not a slick defensive maestro either. There have been lots of guys like him, but on balance he's done pretty well for himself. Around $17m in purses from his last four fights.

              He did. He also clearly best marquez. His style just isn't casual friendly I guess you could say. And he doesn't sell himself. Espn only knows PAC and Floyd

                  Social networks are the most accurate to see who is in and who is not. Timmy is clearly not in.

                    What is this a High School popularity contest? Maidana will probably never see another PPV payday again. But Tim will.



                    What Tim lacks in followers on twitter and facebook he makes up for with his bank account figures...
